Default Firewall

While waiting for the finishing kit, I am trying to get some work done on the firewall without the benefit of the plans for the FWF. I know no one else has them either, but some repeat offenders might have an idea. For all of you smart people out there, can you tell me what is "probably" going on these nutplates? I am guessing the blue circle which is a AN4 is going to be a ground for the battery. All the other red spots are for a AN3. Does it matter how the starter and master are mounted, i.e. does mine look correct? I am going to order the protection diodes and add those. Any help and/or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

I can shed a bit of light.

The rectangular box upper left side: Top hole will mount the MP sensor, if you use Garmin. I believe the second will be used in conjunction with the other for a Skyview or AFS sender. I may be wrong there.

The one in the blue circle is an AN 4. It will connect the negative terminal of the battery to the airframe with a ground strap in FWF kit.

The at the 11 o'clock position from the heater inlet will attach the bracket for the oil cooler. There is one in the same plane next to the sidewall also for the same purpose.

The one a couple inches to the right of the battery box will hold adel clamps to secure the battery cable to the master solenoid and the oil pressure line.

The other two, close to the master and starter solenoids I have no clue. They are both unfilled at this time and my engine install is complete save the exhaust system. Probably meant for items used by systems other than Garmin.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to get them all on one reply. If I can build an airplane, I suppose I can.

Make the size "message board".
